What a fun book of word play! These colorful and often hilarious illustrations are going to be ingenious tools to help teach children the meaning of the words on the page, and how words can come together to mean different things - even while sounding exactly the same. The glossary at the back of the book is helpful to both children and adult readers.

Hilarious! This is quite possibly the best "read aloud" book I have ever read. Smart, funny and I loved the illustrations. I will be recommending this to every person that walks into the kids section at work!

I Loved the art, It was a fun book with homophones, homonyms, and tricky punctuation to show the way we hear thing could lead to different understandings. Super Cute

Homonyms, homophones, and punctuation are used to depict entirely different situations even when the sentences sound identical. Cartoon illustrations are hilarious and there is a useful glossary to support reader comprehension

What a superb book proving the inter play on the English language is fun and enjoyable no matter what age.

Homonyms, homophones and punctuation all brought to life with quirky illustrations, this is a brilliant book. Perfect for anyone with a love for the fun you can have with words and pictures. Cleverly written and illustrated, I am off to pre-order for the English lead as I know this will be appreciated!

Loved reading it and browsing the pictures, making me stop and think a few times, giggle even more and just thoroughly enjoy the time spent in this book!

This is a wonderfully funny book- especially for anyone who has ever tried to learn a second language!

Super cute book! What is not to love about the title! Book totally reminds me of the King Who Reined series by Fred Gwynn from years ago. Thanks to @netgalley for the eARC. Would totally love a hard copy for the classroom. I think my third graders would get such a kick out of it!

I LOVE this book. It brings to me fond memories of reading The King Who Rained when I was a child. I LOVE that I could not always anticipate what the second interpretation would be. I would use this book with middle or high schoolers in English, library, or art class. I LOVE it.

I LOVED this book! As an English teacher and mother of a 5 year old son, this is such great exposure to homophones and homonyms! Not to mention, punctuation. I also loved the diversity of people and animals in the book. I really appreciate children's books that are a bit longer and less traditional. This would be a great addition to any child's shelf! Thanks for the opportunity to read!

This clever nonfiction picture book features sentences with homonyms, showing how the same sounds can have completely different meanings. I really liked the first, alphabet-focused book in this series when it released, and I enjoyed this more complex one as well. I especially liked the opposite contrast with "raise" and "raze," and the kooky illustrations are a lot of fun.

This is a great book for word nerds, whether they are children or adults. However, children may struggle to interpret some of the more unusual words and complex sentences adjustments. There is a glossary in the back that provides explanation at the end, but a younger child would probably most enjoy this as a read-aloud with an adult who can explain the more obscure words and references as they go. Even though this book is in a picture book format, it is not targeted towards picture book audiences, and is better for elementary school children and up.

This book is a lot of fun, and is a wonderful, silly way to teach about homonyms and expand a child's vocabulary. I'm glad that I had the chance to read an advance copy of this, and I hope that there will be future books in this series as well.

Voted funny and clever by my 7.5 year old- and my former English teacher self found it hilarious and adorable. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC!

This book would actually be great read aloud! This book shows the same sentence with different homonyms to change the meaning of the sentence entirely. Such as No reading allowed and no reading aloud. It does not have a plot, it’s just a combination of fun sentences. A great way to talk about homonyms or homophones with a class or child.

The "P is for Pterodactyl" series continues in this all new quirky and enjoyable book about homonyms and other sound a like words in the English language. If grammar and homonyms books aren't on your reading list, don't worry. You will be ABSORBED in the humor of each sound alike phrase/sentence. All ages will find laughs in this. I even tried to start predicting what would come next. (I was never successful though.) This book will get older students and readers to realize the power of language in a fun way!

First off, let me say, get the real book for this one. I attempted to read it on an small-screened electronic device and it didn't work at all, which I think may have taken away from my enjoyment of it.

Second, I think I'm in a tad of a reading slump, so rather than see this as a very cute book, I saw it as merely cute and the word-play slightly forced and not as fun as it was trying to be.

That being said, I can see children enjoying the fun with words that this book is trying to share with the reader. The artwork is fun and silly and so are the sentences that are being compared. It didn't fully work for me, but I'm not quite the target demographic age-wise I think.

3.5, it was ok for me but I expect it to be better received by those younger than me, stars. This will be one I recommend in the store. Since I can see the appeal of it, rounded up to 4 stars.

My thanks to NetGalley and SOURCEBOOKS Kids/Sourcebooks Explore for an eARC copy of this book to read and review.

Hilarious "sequel" to Raj Haldar's P is for Pterodactyl: The Worst Alphabet Book Ever. In this new title, Hadar uses homonyms, punctuation, and word play to make sentences that sound the same when read aloud, but mean different things when the spellings and punctuation are reflected. Great for language art lessons and just plain silliness!

Like the alphabet book before this, this book plays with words in a spectacularly fun way! It calls attention to some of the oddities of the English language in a way that’s comical and entertaining. So many kids and adults will enjoy reading this and comparing the two sentences. It is great for lessons on homophones!
